If you suffer from any of the following problems like shoulder/ back pain or burning/ aching wrists or fingers you need to do something about it as soon as possible. Most of those problems are early symptoms of very serious conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, etc. Not only can those conditions become very painful, but once they are chronic they may lead to disability.
There are a number of publications about RSI and back pain which come highly recommended:

Emil Pascarelli, Deborah Quilter
For general, factual information about RSI, most sufferers (myself included) recommend Pascarelli and Quilt's "Repetitive Strain Injury".
